Lookeba, OK population, income and ZIP codes

Lookeba town is a very small community in Oklahoma, with 87 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #695 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 46.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Lookeba town earn a median of $48,750 a year, 37.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% below the $53,500 median for the 240 Oklahoma cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 27.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lookeba town is valued at $52,500, 82.7% below the national figure and 58% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 70.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 87 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lookeba town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Lookeba town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
